Quick Answer

Saturn has by far the most spectacular and visible ring system from Earth. Its rings are made mainly of water ice and are broad enough to stretch hundreds of thousands of kilometres across.

The Full Story

Saturn is the planet most strongly associated with rings, because its ring system is the brightest and easiest to see from Earth. The rings are made mostly of water ice with smaller amounts of rocky material and dust. They extend outward for hundreds of thousands of kilometres, yet are surprisingly thin. Although other giant planets also have rings, none is as bright and iconic as Saturn's.
